M.A.R.V.E.L. Unique Design
Starting with the Halton extensive product line of commercial foodservice ventilation solutions,
M.A.R.V.E.L. adds the following four unique components:
IRIS™ infrared temperature sensors: Used to measure the rate of change of the cooking surface
temperature, the sensor acquires a "heat signature" of the equipment positioned below each sensor.
The thermopile-based device is placed in the ball socket fi xture in the Capture Jet
exits the plenum around the sensor to protect the optic sensor from dirt and cooking debris. The sensor
can be easily moved and re-aligned as needed using the provided CE Laser Alignment Tool.
